Your boat is more than just a boat! It's your weekend get-away. It's quality time with your family. It's your refuge from the stress of everyday life. It's your passion. We get it and totally agree!

MaxSea TimeZero helps Team Whisper finish first in class
in the Marion-Bermuda Race
 Sheeldon Brotman, remembers this race, and describes this experience:
“This is my 22nd race to Bermuda-- I knew that a well prepared sailboat and weather/ routing tactics would be extremely important. On the boat we installed a laptop with MaxSea TimeZero. Weather files would be accessed by Iridium satellite phone. After securing a favorable start out of Buzzards Bay the pace of the race slowed making only about 75 miles during the first day due to light winds. We downloaded grib files about three times a day and with each download ran routing solutions with TimeZero. Ultimately on Wednesday evening around 1700 hours we crossed the line at St. David's head. A strange ending, there was no one in front of us and no boats followed us at the finish line." Their awards were: - First in Fleet scored by IRC system (a new rating system coming into wide spread use in the USA)
- Adams trophy- first, fastest New England Boat
- Second in class A- scored by ORR system
NavNet 3D Tip - Changing your viewing angle
 Have you ever found yourself having a tough time seeing your MFD8 or MFD12's screen? The answer might be as simple as changing your MFD's viewing angle. Simply press the "MENU" key, select the Global category and then move the selection to "View Angle." The default is Normal, but you can select from Most Upward, Upward, Downward, and Most Downward. By selecting one of these viewing angles, you may be able to change the way your MFD displays information on the screen, making it clearer for you to view.
